“[She] knew that this was her life. Better to be immersed in it than to see it from afar.”

Some Luck by Jane Smiley

June 9, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

I really enjoy this book and I think this is my second or third time reading it. Some Luck follows the Langdon family, who start off as farmers in Iowa. Each chapter is one year in their lives, and that concept makes this book very readable, as it moves along at a fast pace. This is the first book … [Read more]

Partners in Crime

It’s a friends-to-lovers sapphic murder mystery novella!

Partners in Crime by Rachel Bowdler

June 9, 2022 by llamareadsbooks 2 Comments

I got drawn in by the adorable cover (ok but seriously why don’t they have EYES?) and then when I found out it was a friends-to-lovers? sapphic murder mystery novella? SOLD. Bryce and Thea have been best friends for years. They co-host a mildly popular weekly true crime podcast, though the rest … [Read more]

double dipping with Rivers of London and River Cartwright

Amongst Our Weapons by Ben Aronovitch

Slow Horses by Mick Herron

June 9, 2022 by andtheIToldYouSos Leave a Comment

Once again, I am unhappy because I am all caught up in the Rivers of London universe. BUT- I thoroughly enjoyed this entry, and I was lucky enough to be able to dive right in to another irreverent British crime series! Amongst Our Weapons, the latest from Ben Aaronovitch, is a return to form. … [Read more]

this is the sort of book that requires some quiet wallowing time post-finish

The Everlasting by Katy Simpson Smith

June 9, 2022 by andtheIToldYouSos 2 Comments

I picked this one up because of the cover. I saw it featured at my local bookstore and put it in my basket without even reading the blurb on the back. Had I read the blurb, I would have KNOWN that it was meant for me none the less, but something about the neon pile of bodies reached into my brain … [Read more]

Proud Pride

This Little Rainbow: A Love-Is-Love Primer and Pride 1 2 3 by Joan Holub

Pride 1 2 3 by Michael Joosten

June 9, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

This Little Rainbow: A Love-Is-Love Primer and Pride 1 2 3 are not pushy but are at times can be borderline. Joan Holub’s This Little addition with Pride leaders is good but feels a bit advanced for the board book reader. And Pride 1 2 3 has been done before, so it feels like the subject is being … [Read more]
